• Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Shows potential as rookie

  01/23/2025 • By RotoWire

  Culp brought in five of six targets for 88 yards across five regular-season games in 2024. The rookie seventh-round pick had played all of five snaps from scrimmage in Weeks 7, 8 and 16 when Cade Otton's knee injury afforded him additional opportunity over the last two regular-season games. Culp played 19 and 16 snaps in Weeks 17 and 18, respectively, while operating as a complementary tight end alongside Payne Durham, and he generated all of his stats during that pair of contests. Culp displayed some downfield prowess during that span by tallying two receptions of 20-plus yards among his five grabs, and he should have plenty of opportunity this offseason and in training camp to make a case for more playing time as he heads into the second year of his rookie contract in 2025.

• Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Puts in full practice

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Culp (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Culp was limited in the Buccaneers' first Week 18 practice due to the injury, but his ability to take every rep a day later clears the way for him to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Saints. The rookie seventh-round pick played a season-high 19 snaps in last week's blowout win over the Panthers, finishing with three catches for 52 yards on four targets. With the Week 18 statuses of both Cade Otton (knee) and Payne Durham (quadricep) in flux with neither tight end having yet turned in a full practice this week, Culp could once again be headed for a meaningful role Sunday.

• Buccaneers' Devin Culp: Makes NFL debut

  10/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Culp played one of the Buccaneers' 82 snaps on offense and wasn't targeted in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens. With Payne Durham (calf) sitting out the Week 7 contest, Culp got the chance to make his NFL debut as the No. 3 tight end behind Cade Otton and Ko Kieft. Otton (80 snaps) dominated the playing time, leaving few snaps left over for either Culp or Kieft (six snaps). Culp will likely return to the inactive list Week 8 against the Falcons if Durham is able to play.
